My Father was there too, at the Battle of the Bulge, and we were both blessed that they returned.
Have you/he sent for his military records?
We have my dads and what treasure,
I sent for them after he passed on,which was right before Ken Burns' documentry was aired.."The War" a masterpiece work, and if you haven't seen it rent it, a must.
They certainly were the "Greatest Generation" and we have much to be proud of, being their children.
